Nick Barnett was released from the Bills. Could be a decent stop gap option at MLB._________________From the fool’s gold mouthpiece the hollow horn,

That he not busy being born is busy dying.

I have no idea which LB will burst onto the scene; I just need to see their recorded 40 times, 3-cone drills, vertical and watch their drills to see what stands out. If the Vikings were to draft a WR with their 1st pick and a Teo, Ogletree, or Minter were sitting there at overall pick #35 or so, I'd be all over trading up.

In regard to OLB, Ogletree (today) just seems soooooo fast. Question is, does that translate into reads and being in the right spot 99% of the time? With him being a converted Safety, I have to believe his coverage skills have to be much better than most LBs . . . then again, a certain division rival tried converting a certain Mr Urlacher to OLB, and he just didn't work there -- and I don't think there's much jury time to worry about how his move to the middle played-out

Teo, on the otherhand, does not seem "fast" but he's quick-ish and has a
knack for being in the right spot at the right time. Yeah, he's a playmaker, and the Vikes need another one.
